Rico and Sofia sat in the back of the chauffeured SUV. He couldn't find something better so he had her sign on a napkin but not before she laid down her terms. "Rico, before I sign, I need to set out two clauses, just two and I don't really mind anything else," she said, pushing some locks behind her ear. "Ok..." He wondered what she'd say next, already worrying about it affecting their chances. "First, I don't want to shoot reality TV. I really don't like them, I know you planned The Spark like one but please let's make it more like H.O.S. please..." Rico exhaled deeply, *D*mn, people usually began with the one of lesser effect. So if this was first then what next?* "And the second one?" He finally asked. "The second is just like that clause you already give actors. It's just a bit different though." *D*mn* Rico swore within, she was scaring him. Something came to mind but he prayed it was not the case here. "I should be able to get off any project I'm on, with immediate effec
Sparks Fly Chapter Twenty - SuperStar 2
After setting up her phone, Sofia sent a broadcast text to Ryan, Rico, Jessi, Fred, Tanya, Alicia, and the rest of her girlfriends. Surprisingly, Fred was the first to get back to her. "Hey Soph, congrats, heard the news. Someone left something for you though," "For me? Who? What did they leave?" "An envelope. He left his card and said he was from a fashion company. Venus," Fred shrugged, mouthing "it's Sofia," at Alicia, who immediately scurried over. "Fashion company? Venus? I have no idea who..." "Ryan owns Venus," Rico cut in. Sofia glanced at him, "Ryan?" Rico nodded, "Yeah, the fashion company you two were at that day." "Oh," Sofia chuckled. "Hello?" "Oh sorry Fred, I just heard from someone that Ryan owns Venus. Is he there? Was he the one that gave you the envelope Fred?" "No, Ryan wasn't here. it was some guy, Peter Andrews, said he's the CEO at Venus," Alicia chirped in. "Heard the news though, I'm so happy for you," she added. Sofia smiled, "I'm on my way," sh
Sparks Fly Chapter Twenty One - Superstar 3
This time when Rico's SUV pulled up at the studio, Sofia managed to restrain herself from freaking out. This time too, security was in place, under Rico's orders so the crowd couldn't get too close. Still, they were deafening, yelling her name and all that. Rico got down, came around the side, and opened the door for her. There was a whoop to welcome her while Sofia flushed scarlet. The tips of her ears had a reddish tinge to the, as did her cheeks and the rest of her face. She felt giddy within. Her feet touched the ground gingerly and she waved, driving them crazy. Autograph requests lined up and Rico let her sign just three, before stealing her away. Sofia received a huge welcome at the studio. Ryan and Jessi were there and Jessi rushed into her embrace. "Finally," she said as they separated. She was tearing up. "Abuela would be so happy right now, at least she's smiling down on us." "Abuela?" Jessi nodded, dabbing at her eyes, "Before she died last year, she wanted me to
Sparks Fly Chapter Twenty Two - Breaking News
Over a month had passed since the announcement. To ride the crest of Sofia's fame wave, the studio kicked off the shooting ASAP and announced it at a press conference soon after. The hype was up. It was everything Rico had promised and then some. They quickly dropped a teaser episode and the projections were going through the roof. The performance of Heart Of Stone took a dent in the following weeks. At that time, Sofia was arguably the biggest star around. The deals were coming in thick and fast, however, Tanya worked them like a pro, making sure she got only the best whilst keeping the image Rico had talked about. Noah was Rico's assistant director on the tv show and therefore was constantly around Rico. Much to Jessi's disdain. Amanda grew bitter by the second and Sofia's continued dominance was not helping matters. It was as if Sofia was everywhere she turned. James and David had taken on more of a "silent watcher role" with regards to their targets. Paco's Tacos was offici

"Jessi, what's up?" He asked, worried. He could hear her sobbing over the phone. "Jessi breathe," he urged, picking up the pace on the way to his car. She was scaring him. "O-ok, ok," she stammered, struggling to swallow the lump in her throat. "Ryan is on his way to Santa Fe and I can't find Sofia anywhere!" She exclaimed in a rush of words Rico could barely hear. "Wwwait, I don't understand. Why's Ryan going to Santa Fe and what do you mean by you can't find Sofia? Try to talk calmly so I can understand what you're saying." Jessi nodded, covering her mouth with her hand. She shuddered, doing her best to calm down. "I had called Sofia on my way to the hotel but she wasn't picking up her calls. I got to the hotel just as the ambulance was leaving and different people were saying Ryan was injured but I couldn't believe any of that. So I went in and the hotel confirmed everything. They said Sofia showed up at the desk with her box and told them Ryan was injured then left in a taxi."

"Doctor! Doctor! How's he doing?" Amanda asked, literally flying at him. She was closely followed by Rico, Jessi, and Noah. The doctor breathed deeply, "Mr. Barnes is fine now. We closed the injury, it's gonna leave an ugly scar though. He's resting right now. Take it easy with him you all. The anesthesia hasn't worn off completely. If you'll give us a moment, the nurse will inform you once she's done setting him in his room. Please, excuse me," he gave them a curt nod and walked past. A nurse showed up in a few minutes to direct them to Ryan's room. They took the elevator to the top floor and went up a flight of stairs to the penthouse suite. Noah did little to hide her amazement, "Penthouse suite for an injury patient? And how much is he paying for this?" "He's not paying," the nurse replied. "What?" "Well Mr. Barnes is one of the major shareholders of this hospital and this penthouse suite was installed for him. I heard he has such investments in every state, so wherever he

"I'm coming," Sofia yelled exasperatedly. Who the hell came visiting at six in the morning? She opened the door and Rico was standing there with Jessi. "Oh," she paused, realizing that she hadn't seen either of them throughout "yesterday" Rico immediately used his height to his advantage, slipping past her. "Well, come in," she muttered. Jessi chuckled drily and followed Rico, then Sofia shut the door, and came to sit with them. "I know why you're here," she said. "You didn't pick up any of my calls yesterday. I was worried." "I didn't pick a lot of calls," Sofia shrugged. "What happened?" Rico asked. "Just as I thought," Sofia nodded. "Look Soph, we know something happened. But we don't understand, cause everything was ok when you two left," Jessi intervened. "Does it matter?" She asked, walking to her flowers, "What's happened, has happened. Besides, there's nothing you or anyone can do about it." "Just wonderful. We're supposed to wrap up the first episode of the spark

"Are you seeing this?" "Yes. Hold on for a moment," James replied, offhandedly, signing some documents for Pam to take with her. He finished, then, dropped the pen inside the folder and handed it to her. Once she left, he put the receiver to his ear and tapped a button to switch from the loudspeaker. "Done?" "Yeah, what were you saying?" "Yeah, rub it in my face," David hissed and James chuckled. "But how could you tell?" "Oh, I don't kiss and tell," James replied, smiling. "The news hit Ryan really bad though, he's losing a lot of money." "Huh? How so?" "Well as things stand, Sofia is arguably bigger than Ryan. Investors, and stakeholders, feel public opinion will lean in her favor. Besides, you know Ryan already has his reputation. There's been so many cancelations, clients pulling out, and it's only been a few hours since the news began trending on Twitter." "Ahh, such good news," David sighed. "Here I was, about to settle for the hit my colleague's studio was taking. I tho
